Perfecting The Circle
In celebration of their sophomore album, Thirteenth Step, which hits shelves September 16, A Perfect Circle are embarking on a two-week string of club dates. Beginning July 26 in Denver, the band will stop by venerable venues, keeping on a mostly eastern path.
Following their headlining tour, A Perfect Circle are set to join the Lollapalooza crew from August 15-24.
Despite earlier reports that former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha joined the band, his name isn’t mentioned in the new lineup. Who is mentioned is Jeordie White, formerly known as Twiggy Ramirez during his Marilyn Manson days. The new Circle crew features Maynard James Keenan, Billy Howerdel, Josh Freese and White.
Furthering the Pumpkins connection, White replaces original guitarist Paz Lenchantin, who left A Perfect Circle to join Zwan.
